<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>You need Outlook 2013. Older Outlook version only sync with a full-blown Microsoft Exchange Servers (The ActiveSync Server the "small" brother of the Exchange Server and is mostly used to sync mobile devices).</p><p> </p><p>So the work flow is the following:</p><p>1. Backup your pst file(s) and setup a test Kolab server.</p><p>2. Open your pst-files using Outlook 2013. Check if data looks ok, but going from Outlook 2007 => 2013 should be ok</p><p>3. Connect your Outlook 2013 to the Active Sync (Syncroton) Server of Kolab (see for example here: https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2808/setting-up-outlook-2013-using-microsoft-exchange-activesync.aspx<span style="font-family: monospace;"> ). You do not need to install anything for this, Kolab comes with the ActiveSync server. Thanks Aleksander, good to know Kolab works with Outlook 2013.</span></p><p>=> you now see your Kolab data in outlook.</p><p>4. Now you move all data within Outlook 2013 to the Kolab account.</p><p> </p><p>In case you do not have Outlook2013, maybe you can get a test/evaluation version since you only need to do this once. Once your data is in Kolab, you can use any other Client.</p><p> </p><p>Hope that helps,</p><p>Christoph</p><p><br /> </p><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid #325FBA; padding-left: 5px;margin-left:5px;">-----Original message-----<br /><strong>To:</strong> users@lists.kolab.org; <br /><strong>CC:</strong> Aleksander Machniak <machniak@kolabsys.com>; <br /><strong>From:</strong> Thinker Rix <thinkerix@rocketmail.com><br /><strong>Sent:</strong> Fri 14-03-2014 14:29<br /><strong>Subject:</strong> Re: Migration from Microsoft Outlook to Kolab<br /><strong>Attachment:</strong> inline.txt<br /><style type="text/css">body { font-family: monospace; }</style> <div style="color: #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; "><div style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size: 14px;">Hi Aleksander, <br /> <br /> Thank you for your time! <br /> <br /> On 2014-03-14 15:13, Aleksander Machniak wrote: <br /> <blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;">On 03/14/2014 02:11 PM, Thinker Rix wrote: <br /> <blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;">Christoph, thank you very much for this idea of yours! <br /> I found this: <a href="https://kolab.org/about/syncroton" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">https://kolab.org/about/syncroton</a> and as far as I <br /> understand, Kolab can accept ActiveSync connections.As far as I know, <br /> ActiveSync is a MS program, which I can install on windows and it should <br /> work also with Outlook 2003, isn't it? So with other words: I could just <br /> connect with ActiveSync and sync all my stuff to Kolab and I am done?!?!? <br /> If that would be true, it would be wonderful and amazingly easy! <br /> <br /> Is anybody reading who can confirm this/ has already done that and has <br /> some experience on it to share with us? <br /> </blockquote> I can confirm Outlook 2013 (not 2003) works with Kolab using ActiveSync <br /> protocol. You don't need to install any programs for that. <br /> </blockquote> <br /> Great, thank you for the confirmation! <br /> Unfortunately I made a mistake and wrote Outlook 2003, although we are using 2007. So please allow me to ask again: Do you know if it works with 200*7*, too? Or only as of 2013? <br /> <br /> <blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;"> I didn't <br /> however try to move events/tasks/contacts from one account to another. <br /> </blockquote> <br /> I do not understand that; when syncing is done, aren't the data copied to both places, isn't that the very essence of syncing? So that after syncing I would just dump the Outlook and continue accessing my data on Kolab via Roundcube and/or another client such als Kontact? <br /> Or do you mean that you just connect to Kolab via ActiveSync so to receive your email via ActiveSync - but not the calendar/tasks/contacts which continue to live on your local Outlook? <br /> <br /> Thank you for helping me! <br /> <br /> Cheers <br /> Thinker Rix <br /> <br /> <div>-- <br /> <b>*Thinker Rix*</b>, an internet user. <br /> Please avoid TOFU in newsgroups and mailing lists (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting</a>) <br /> Bitte vermeidet TOFU in Newsgroups und Mailing-Listen (<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOFU" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOFU</a>) <br /> </div></div></div> </blockquote><p> </p>
